User talk:The Nails

In reply to your question about locked pages
Hi Nails. The pages are only locked from editing if you're not logged in. Since you obviously are logged in you can edit away. I guess you're confused because you get the message that they're locked regardless. Don't worry about that, as long as it says "This page has been locked so that only registered users can edit it" it can be edited. A few pages have the message "This page has been locked so that only users with sysop privileges can edit it." These can only be edited by us admins.

That depends on what kind of problems you're having. There's a guide to uploading pictures here. If there's something else you're having trouble with you can always look for a help article about it here. TheScatterbrain 21:08, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Reply: Too many links?
Don't know about the links, it might be a good idea. I've been thinking myself it's a bit annoying to add a billion links to more lenghty articles. We'd have to go back and remove links from all the existing articles, though.

And you're locked out from editing? That sounds strange. What happens when you try to edit? Do you get an error message? If it's a problem with Wikias servers I could try contacting them.

Also, what browser are you using? The editor has some browser compatibillity issues. Try switching to a different browser and see if that works.

Okay, I made a test user and figured out the problem. It seems that when we lock pages from unregistered users it is also locked from everyone who did not create the page (or possible edited it). Hm. This is not how the function's supposed to work or Wikia have done a pretty bad job of explaining it.

Anyway, this is obviously no good, so I'll go through the articles and unlock them for everyone to edit. I'll try to get it done today.

Also, thanks a ton for your help, it's really appreciated :) I hope you had a nice thanksgiving despite being sick. Get well soon!

Reply: Image sizes
No, they don't have to be a specific size. I have no intention of making art specifically for the wiki anyway, so there's no need.

And yeah, it's perfectly okay to grab art from the website, or anywhere else really, that I (or Maia) made. As long as it's not redistributed elsewhere than the wiki without my name on it, I'm fine with that :)
